  1. Minor dent, huh? Looks like it was left out in the elements for a few years after the first photos were taken. '59's go for crazy money, and it's advertised as a CdV. I bet it went close to asking price.
  2. Ouch. Maybe $2500-3000 for parts. It is a coupe with side mounts, so there's some value. Bakersfield car, so likely not much rust.
  3. Looks like the driver's door is sagging. Gap at the front edge is wider than the passenger door. Very long, very heavy doors, so hopefully all it needs is an adjustment. Looks to be a pretty good asking price, but "firm" price ads are problematic. Maybe a car is EXACTLY as described, or underpriced, but usually not. Better to leave a little slack in the price for issues the seller isn't aware of (or willfully ignoring).
  4. Good asking price for a nice cruiser. Front seat looks pretty tired. 208K miles? Not sure about the "occasional" speedo cable whine. Maybe the head unit? "AC not charged" could be trouble with the climate control, a major PIA. I've been there. Worth a look.
  5. That's a beauty. You don't seem to see as many really nice '36's as '37's and '38's. Nice asking price, too. Bravo, Matt.
  6. I think the seller would like us to decide for ourselves. My guess is $50K.
  7. Nice car, but vague ad. What does the transmission need, and is there anything besides that driver's front fender dent to fix? Brightwork looks good. I've never understood foam dice on the rear view. They'd drive me crazy.
  8. "ride like ice"? Body looks good, and I like the color. Doesn't look all that custom, aside from the upholstery and wheels. No engine bay shots?
  9. And a "clean" vehicle title. We might be tempted to blame spellcheck, but those are some strange errors. And it's 4WD? $16K sounds about right. It is a nice car, and I like the dual carb setup with the slant 6, although the chromed valve cover just looks trashy. Bet it's a fun driver.
  10. That's mentioned in the BAT comments. Seller asked owner about the color, owner replied, "I do not like gray engines.". Sharp car. I think most late 30's/40's four door convertibles look ungainly, but this one's pretty good. Currently at $30K.
  11. Lots of needs and a wretched paint job, but it's got potential! Hope the seller is flexible on the asking price. This one deserves to be saved.
  12. I like it! Certainly not authentic as noted, but a fun car for shows and parades. Black wheels as well as fenders would help a lot.
  13. That T-Bird is nice! The Electra convertible would look great with a black top. Being from California, seeing that much rust would send me scurrying though. The '34 Dodge is a sharp car. Seller should've cleaned up the crap in the back seat for photos, and what's with the rear bumper? Tapped out on the re-chroming budget? Son-in-law would give that '51 Chevy 5-window a long, hard look. A little pricey, but the body looks straight.
  14. My sister was engaged for a while to a guy who had a '64 GT with a 318 and 4 speed. Fun car. Not sure a 170 could be hot rodded sufficiently to make it fun as well. A 225, probably could. Someone in another thread posted a link to a six-cylinder speed shop that (I recall) promised a 120% HP increase with their $1800 engine kit. I had a '72 Valiant with a 225. Great car, kick myself for selling it. 20 years after I sold it, I still saw it around town. Those motors are bulletproof.
  15. Definitely the #1 Dodge collector in Ramona. Rear doors are both ajar. Too lazy to close, or structural issues? It almost looks like they overlap the front doors.
  16. Map indicates Wisconsin, north of Madison. Nice car, and very Long Beachy, but wildly optimistic asking price.
  17. Sharp car, but seller is asking for all the money a really good example might bring, not a neglected, dirty car that may or may not currently run. Engine isn't looking too tidy considering the seller claims a rebuild. Lots of questions.
  18. Might make sense to spend a few extra grand and get one without the "issues". Fixing old luxury cars gets costly real quick. As we've heard so often, "A cheap (Rolls-Royce, Pierce-Arrow, Cadillac, etc.) will turn out to be the most expensive car you'll ever buy".
  19. Cool car. One of the less-weird early-60's Mopar designs. Great speedo! Seller should've spent some time cleaning up the engine bay. A bit of a disappointment considering how nice everything else looks.
  20. Let's see....4745 lbs shipping weight, $37K bid....that's less than $8 a pound! There's no telling how (or why) the BAT crowd will react to old cars. Lucky seller.
  21. Bid to $32K as of now. Seller should be breaking out the party hats.
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_stock Seems like the seller should've taken his/her own advice and checked Wiki first. I'm guessing what was intended is that the car rolls but doesn't run. Reno has seriously low humidity, so if the car was parked under cover all those years, good to go rust-wise, but I doubt the seller backed it into the sagebrush just for the photo shoot. It's a sure thing the interior is cooked. If the motor isn't seized, maybe just getting it running and driving as is makes sense. Anything beyond that, and you're quickly underwater.
  23. One of the better early-60's Mopar designs. Ad reads like a script from one of those ghost-finder realty shows. Maybe, could be, etc. Not sure it's worth restoring, and if a restored car is actually worth what is claimed, a good way to flush $10K's down the toidy.
